Craig and his wonderful list

craigslist guinea pigsThe good thing about Craigslist: It's a window into our fellow community members' wants, needs and aspirations. The bad thing about Craigslist: It's a window into our fellow community members' wants, needs and aspirations.

Sometimes waffles are a prompt for panic.

"[Y]our smile made me almost run into another shopper in the SOUP aisle when you flashed it at me..."

"I was wondering on why some one as hot as you were in the dr office." Hot people don't get sick?

Between the cold and the tire and the eyes, he didn't get her name.

"You had green wings on your back with a phenomenal body and some kick ass triceps." A human body with wings would be phenomenal -- whatever the state of the triceps.

So maybe don't stand near him when he's frustrated?

That's going beyond the cliched cup of sugar.

It sounds like the kiss on the cheek did this guy in -- he's always going to wonder about her now.

We're not sure whether to hope -- or not -- that this person is talking about an actual horse.

Who wouldn't be happy to return a mouthpiece to its proper owner.
